Those GoPro cameras really do take some nice video/pictures.  I'm dying to ask.....what alt Bat?

Yeah Obie, considering it's a rip from a video file the quality is pretty good. That was after about 30 seconds of freefall from 15k so would have been about 8k
And I don't know much, but I do know this. With a golden heart comes a rebel fist.

Beautiful shots everyone!  I hope someday to get to a level of photography that compares to some of the images here.  I'm still a work in progress. 

Here's some of my better shots;

Gettysburg National Park-The Union Line near the "High Water Mark"


The Polish Winged Hussar Memorial.  Doylestown PA


One of my most famous shots.  "Summer in Winter"


Here's one of mine.

My office is in the flight path of Dulles airport.  When Discovery was being delivered it flew right over my office at almost tree top level

  That was Discovery I think.
from Wilkipedia........
Space Shuttle Discovery (Orbiter Vehicle Designation: OV-103) is one of the three orbiters of NASA's Space Shuttle program and the third of five built.[4] Its maiden flight, STS-41-D, flew from 30 August to 5 September, 1984. Over 27 years of service it launched and landed 39 times, gathering more flight time than any other spacecraft to date.

Have any of you heard of www.viewbug.com 

It's a website that photographers can enter into contests.  Some are free or if you have a paid subscription, you can enter into more professional contests.

The site doesn't cater to just professional photographers.  Many contests are won by amateurs or mid level photographers.  Prizes can range from bragging rights to actual photography gear.

Might be worth a look for some of you wishing to get your images out there.

Unfortunately this is taken from a video on my phone so quality is subpar but at least can appreciate how close this is to the beauty that is the 747.  All some other photos from my collection that I have taken from my time at school.
